Well, how are these searches _different_ from normal DC searches? In no
way. I suspect the reason someone said regexps are slower werent that
theyre inherently slower for a regular DC substring match, but rather that
they have other variants that are slower.

probably. To increase replay speed, it probably is a good idea to keep a cache of the last 1000 searchs with their replies.
